What a week! Work, errands, chores, and to top it off, I chopped off a piece of my finger too.
So how does one distract oneself from the pain?
Why, by reading blogs of course! Here’s some of what I saw.Alex Autin showed me how my old commute wasn’t near as bad as our collective commute. I Thought This Would Be Easier may finally have time to pee, and and Helene Troy had some strong feelings about fat.

Thanks to them, and all of you, for a great week of reads!
What else was read? Well ,last week, a bunch of you read the poll, where we ask what you do the day after Valentines Day. And from the answers, love means many things to many people. Here’s what you said. (As always, my comments are ardent in italics.)

I hunt down a good bone 🙂 Wolf(Say it with me, everyone: THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!)If I had a Valentine like that I wouldn’t need the talcum powder…. ~Miss R(I like the talcum with the added rash powder.

Or a putter…)just to clarify, the last two were from me, ~whatimeant2say(Yay, moment of clarity!)and probably should be put together ~whatimeant2say(like peanut butter and chocolate! And tequila…)because they really make no sense if split apart ~whatimeant2say(Trust me, things stopped making sense here a loooong time ago…)ok. I’ll stop now. ~whatimeant2say(Wait!

Damn I missed it again (JackieP)(You were caught up in the Presidents Day excitement too!!!)take my undergarments from my purse after the long walk of shame(Is it more shameful if they’re someone elses undergarments? Asking for a friend…)Bodies? I ground the bones to make my pancakes. Trick Q? ~Red(Can’t wait to hear your syrup recipe!)Laugh at the chick whose first date overran her second & went home alone. Red.(Why didn’t she hit on the ambulance driver?)It isn’t the bodies I mind cleaning up… it is the assorted fluids… PMAO(Those chocolate fillings are a bitch to get out of leather boxers…)I get to go out for my Valentine’s Day dinner.

Carrie Rubin(But according to my Hallmark calendar, it’s the most important day of the year!)

Congratulations to Michellefor this weeks winning answer,and keeping love and romance alive all year long! And from the offered choices, the most popular was “Make delicious recipes. With the bodies.” Because y’all don’t wast anything! (except the time spent here!)

Oscar as a young man.(He was a rebel before he became the establishment.)

This week,we’re polling again on the topical events of the week. Because we’re lazy. (And couldn’t figure out a good “bloody appendage” poll.)
So butter your popcorn and fill your 70 oz soft drink! And cast your ballots in this weeks poll. But do it by 2359 on 28 Feb, because that’s when this one ends. (If you leave a way for me to recognize you in your answer, I’ll link back to you next week.)

That about wraps it up for this week. And in parting, enjoy these.
First, the theme song from a piece of cinema veritae that won NO awards.
I know, I can’t believe it either!
And finally, since both Easter and Christmas were referenced above, what the hell, lets throw in some of the devil.
Have a great week y’all. See you on the bounceback…

Oh, how I love Friday Foolishness!! I can’t believe I forgot to put in some sarcastic remark!! Have a great weekend, Guap!! Hope your finger, knees, head, etc are all feeling better!! I’m still thinking bubble wrap for you. 😉

Ahh…Friday. Time for some foolishness and a good ol’ snowstorm. Snowed in today and still in my jammies. I love snow days…and Friday Foolishness…thanks Guap. Hope your finger gets better and you are able to enjoy your weekend.

I hope the part you chopped off wasn’t critical to your surfing ability. Obviously you’re still able to type. If you can type, surf, and cook without it, what good was it? If not, then oh, let’s pray it grows back!

My future valentines days will be so image-rich now, thanks to that poll! Oh, what’s a girl to do but say thanks, Guap, and I hope you find your missing finger. Part. Or not. Did I ever tell you about the “clam” that appeared in the seafood salad (Hyatt Chicago) the same day that one of the chefs sliced off the tip of her finger…??

That’s gross. Luckily, I was not a diner, but a server at the time of the “mysterious clam incident” at the Hyatt… not THE server, just one who heard about the spectacle second-hand. Or finger… finger tip, really…. I just grossed myself out.

Sorry to hear about the finger, I hope the aftermath was not literally giving someone the finger. A few Aussies up for Oscar gongs this year, makes it slightly more interesting. BTW young Oscar certainly had a lot more hair as a kid!

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! I thought I was the only person who knew about this movie! (Really, who needs to watch classics like The African Queen when there are quality movies like AKT?) My favourite scene is when they attack people in the water with the Jaws music playing…

Okay, I’m getting here late (when I start getting tardy you know I’m at the beginning or the end of a job), but did you really slice off part of your finger? Did I miss something? Are you all right? (although I guess you can type).

And I know this is my problem, and not yours, but I can’t see the word “statuary” without seeing “statutory.” It’s something I’m working on.

I lopped off a piece finger while failing to slice a potato a few weeks ago, Smak. It’s healed to the point where there’s just a little bit of oozing, and they assure me the missing bits will grow back.

Also, I’ve learned that Oxycodone isn’t near as great as people make it out to be.
